Ooh, so many bad things that could happen (I'm speculating on these comfortably since judging by the first movie, we can be pretty sure that PJ won't actually *do* any of these).- Eowyn insists on accompanying Aragorn on the Paths of the Dead.- Arwen tells Aragorn that she doesn't mind having an open relationship.- Arwen fights at Helm's Deep disguised as a man. (Way to steal Eowyn's thunder, there). - A sister is invented for Faramir and Boromir so that Eomer can get married off to someone in the end (just to fulfill the comic-opera convention that everyone with a speaking part has to get paired off at the end). - A kinder, gentler Denethor takes a loving farewell of the ill Faramir, sends the best doctors to attend him, then goes off to the tombs to incinerate himself in private and alone. - Poor old Faramir is dropped from the storyline altogether (like in the ROTK cartoon) and Eowyn finds consolation with Gandalf. - Merry and Pippin cower in fear and run away before the Witch-King and Denethor respectively, still the same laughable morons they were in FOTR.- Gollum repents at the end and throws the Ring into the fire sans self, only to be tragically killed by hot lava a few moments later (well, really, even if he's redeemed you can't have Frodo bringing him home to Bag End, can you?)- Legolas meets a She-Elf- Gimli meets a female Dwarf (though it would resolve that longstanding question of whether or not women dwarves had beards).And of course- Frodo decides that he's OK, really, and stays in the Shire. The scene at the Grey Havens consists of the four hobbits waving goodbye to Gandalf and Galadriel.[ November 09, 2002: Message edited by: Kalimac ]
